As about to be new parents we were, after the excitement of discovering I was pregnant had died down, very nervous. And all the more so when we discovered that in India, unlike in England, birth was obstetrician-led and caeasarian rates high. The Bangalore Birth Network was a godsend in those early, worry-filled days. With their help we had soon educated ourselves on almost all that we needed to know and were looking forward to the natural birth we both so wanted. An unforseen circumstance meant that we had to suddenly switch doctors in the seventh month, which unnerved us both - but the BBN again helped us enormously. Our son was born after a short and fairly easy labour, a completely natural birth, in May and the BBN continued to offer us invaluable support and help through the first few weeks and months.
